I’ve posted several updates on the writing of my next book titled the Slaying of the Bull. I’ve also mentioned that this work will be part of a series called the Tocharian Gospels, but I realized I haven’t gone into much detail of what this series’ story arc will entail. If you’ve checked out theContinue reading “What are the Tocharian Gospels?”

Help the journey to Slay the Bull
Yesterday, in my writing life, I continued to work on the Slaying of the Bull (Book 1 in the Tocharian Gospel Series), which is probably not much of a surprise as it will be published in May (join my Launch Squad by voicing interest here). I also researched around and did a bit of bookContinue reading “Help the journey to Slay the Bull”
Writing War
Well, I finally embarked on one of the most critical chapters in the Slaying of the Bull (Book 1 in my Tocharian Gospel Series). I completed the Bull several years ago, but I realized when I went back to it recently, that I had rushed the ending. The book built and built to reach thisContinue reading “Writing War”
Any issues?
Hi all, I hope you are still well and ok in your isolation. This post will be quick as it is a busy work day. I just wanted to do an Amazon service check. I’ve been having some Amazon issues related to COVID-19, so any help you can provide would be much appreciated. As soonContinue reading “Any issues?”
Open for Feedback
The feedback store is open and ready for business, even during this time of social distancing! If you’ve read the Island of Stone (or are reading it now), please let me know what you think, even if you hate it. I know that people are reading the book, but I have heard very little feedbackContinue reading “Open for Feedback”
The Ending of the Bull
The Slaying of the Bull is almost there. I am working on the last few sections. When I originally wrote the book, I was very much interested in getting it published the traditional root. To be successful in this endeavor, it meant that I had to keep it around the 100,000-word mark. As it isContinue reading “The Ending of the Bull”
Getting out there
Yesterday, I didn’t write much. For one, it just wasn’t flowing, and there is nothing worse (for my mood and the work) than trying to force it, and another, I was busy trying to find new ways to promote my work. Please keep in mind that this is all very new to me. I useContinue reading “Getting out there”
The Bull is close
I am about 90% through the first pass of the Slaying of the Bull. I haven’t read the story in more than a decade, so I had to get back into it, get used to the characters, and make sure the plot is sound. I know I will need to add a bit to theContinue reading “The Bull is close”
Snow in April!
Just when you thought spring was here in Massachusetts, you wake up to snow in April. Not the most pleasant thing to see first thing on a Spring morning (I’d prefer some warm sunshine), but what a perfect day to curl up somewhere warm and read Island of Stone! Sorry for the tactless plug, butContinue reading “Snow in April!”
Join the squad!
As mentioned in prior posts, I am diligently working on Book 1 of my Tocharian Gospels series, the Slaying of the Bull. The four-book series is going to be quite the endeavor comprised of roughly 1,500 pages of text and covering 780 years. The saga will transcend into other planes of existence and will crossContinue reading “Join the squad!”
